The Whisky Agency Very Fine Old Caribbean Rum 1964
Crème brûlée, roasted nuts, raisins and old caramel — this 60-year Cuban leans dry and spiced rather than fruity, with leather, dark chocolate and a whiff of smoke. It can be a bit tight and astringent on opening; give it time in the glass and, as one taster put it, it turns into a "caramel factory." The alcohol sits well integrated for the age.
The community says- Aged complexity
- Old caramel depth
- But: Shortish finish

Dry, spiced old Cuban that turns to caramel Enthusiasts rate it a fine, grown-up Cuban — atypical and elegant. A few detect sweetness and suspect dosage, and the finish runs on the short side.

Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Ein erwachsen und edel wirkender Tropfen. Alkohol an der Nase nicht spürbar, am Gaumen etwas mehr, im relativ kurzen Abgang wiederum nicht erwähnenswert. Leder, Muscovadozucker, Melasse, Holzpolitur, überraschenderweise Rauch und kaum Frucht. Ein eher trocken-würziger Vertreter des spanischen Stils ohne die Malzsüße der TWA-Abfüllung 1963, die mir persönlich ein Müh gefälliger und anspruchsloser erschien. Insgesamt ein sehr schöner Rum, der, falls er wirklich (wie laut Etikett angegeben) bis zu seiner Abfüllung in Schottland auf Kuba reifte, trotz des zunächst abschreckend wirkenden Preises im mittleren dreistelligen Bereich bei näherer Betrachtung geradezu ein Schnäppchen darstellte, vergliche man ihn beispielsweise mit auf Jamaika oder in Guyana komplett tropisch gelagerten Rums ähnlichen Alters.

#6008 29.11.2025 Rum tasting at Whisky Watcher in Odense. This is a very good rum and better than the previous 60 year release. Nice and complex with fruit and caramel and nice roasted notes. The longer it stays in the glass the more caramel comes out until after an hour it is basically a caramel factory in the glass.
Review by Thunderbird
Mal wieder ein ordentlicher Cubaner.. die Nase ist recht betörend und komplex.. und auch der Gaumen kann überzeugen. Alt und ehrwürdig ist das Gesamtbild dieses 64er Jahrganges. Der gefällt mir richtig gut…ein Dank an Gunnar
Review by Chrischi78
Adstringierend und leicht rauchig, mit dominanten Noten von Trockenfrüchten und Holz. Insgesamt sehr süß, was auf eine deutliche Dosage hindeutet. Der Preis ist fürs Alter gerechtfertigt, für die Qualität würde ich ihn dennoch niemals und gar nicht zahlen.
Review by Johannes
Wieder mal ziemlich süß, ziemlich sicher gesüßt…. mit leicht trockenen, leicht adstringierenden rauchigen Noten. Sehr schmeichelnd, aber sicher nicht in der höchsten Liga mitspielend.
Review by ArminK
Sehr angenehm zu genießen. Die Nase verspricht ein paar Früchte und gute Röstaromen. Gerne Geschmack kommt zuerst mit angenehmer Röstung mit leichter Süße etwas dunkel Schokolade und Karamell aber wenig Früchte. Für mich dennoch eine 9,1 da er sehr angenehm im Mund bleibt und trotz des Alters nicht bitter wird. Der Abgang könnte etwas länger sein.
Review by VeryRare
Crème brûlée, Holz, Rosinen, würzig, leicht angenehme dreckige Noten, Bourbon-Vanille, lieblich, frisch, leicht prickelnd! Spannende wechselnde Aroma Nuancen. Nicht sehr komplex aber gut. Mittellanger Abgang.
